Paintsville when through some rough times in the late 90’s I believe. They bounced back but I believe with JC building a new school with all new facilities it will get very tough for the Tiggers. It seems that parents love new things that shine…like schools and fields. Trust me I know haha. I believe once the new JC school is built Paintsvilles numbers will drop even more.

I hope they can get back to being a top team again.  Our rivalry from 2014-2020 made football very fun to watch with several memorable moments.  My favorite game from that stretch was the 2017 playoff game when Gunner Lewis had the pick 6 to put the game away and hearing the crickets on their sidelines.  That also ended a 5 game streak of Paintsville taking it to us.  It was a fun heated rivalry that I hated to see fizzle out in the last 2 years.
